David,
Just a small point:
We don't need Map, since Round is Listable and N is pretty aggressive, for
example
N[HoldComplete[{{Pi}}]]
HoldComplete[{{3.14159}}]
Thus:
round[n_][num_] := N[Round[10^n*num]/10^n]
mat = Array[Random[] &, {2, 2}]
{{0.374869,0.745659},{0.142273,0.397676}}
roundedmat = round[3][mat]
{{0.375,0.746},{0.142,0.398}}
